Men's Shelter Begins A New Era!
Cathy Robinson, Executive Director of the Abuse Prevention Council of Cleveland County, hands the keys to “The Beacon” men’s shelter to the new Operations Manager, David Blanton of the Interfaith Alliance who will now run the facility. Jess Powell,

The Interfaith Alliance is now in charge of “The Beacon” men’s shelter and the operations manager will be David Blanton. With the help of many churches in Cleveland County, the intention is to move “The Beacon”, now located at 301 North Washington St., Shelby, to a newer and larger facility. The present facility is in need of repair and is very overcrowded. The intention of the Interfaith Alliance is to buy a new facility that would not only offer a shelter, but would offer programs designed to get men back to work, have rejuvenated self-esteem and become an asset to themselves and the community. With the dedicated efforts of area churches through the Interfaith Council, this is a giant step forward in helping our area’s homeless.
